It's a required C (C++ ?) behaviour. In an and statement, the first
condition is evaluated, and the second one only if the first is true. The
same hold true for OR: if the first expression is true, it won't bother to
evaluate all the others, if not, it'll go one by one from left to rigth.

Computers are getting faster, smaller and cheaper with time. Does that mean
that Microsoft invented time travel ?
